In what is being described by some as a watered-down approach, from Saturday January 1, travellers coming into Queensland from interstate hotspots can use a negative Rapid Antigen Test to satisfy border pass requirements.
A PCR test, which interstate travellers currently must undergo and provide a negative result 72-hours prior to arrival, will no longer be required.
It follows Queensland announcing it would ditch day-five requirements for interstate arrivals into the state to get a PCR test.
The Premier announced the change via Twitter on Wednesday morning.
More details will be provided at a press conference later today.
